Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - How do we prepare our children for 'change' & help them 'awake and prepare' ??

I simply started living like the change had already taken place to a certain extent. My son roams around our farm which has 6 really capable adults around most of the time and is learning to *gasp*
Play with fire
Play with knives (he's learning to whittle and carve)
Shoot a bow
Clean a gun
Cook and clean up after himself
Kill and clean a chicken
Tie various knots
Build stuff
Con a sailboat
etc. Not bad for a 7 year old...

In some ways, maybe I missed out never living alone, but as things get 'hot', 'out there', I'm glad I'm 40 and have skilled property-mates! It's been great for the kids (I've a step daughter as well). Neither child thinks it is odd to live in multi-person homes. Though many of their friends do!
